A client in Radnor has three nice Nellie Stevens Holly trees growing in the front yard. We noticed that one tree was underperforming for no apparent reason. We decided to root crown excavate to expose the root flares of the tree.

Root Crown Excavation — news root crown excavation2 0 — After removing the soil from the root flares of the Holly, we were able to cut a nylon cord that was acting as a girdle around the trunk. This cord should have been cut when the tree was originally planted. It will be interesting to monitor this tree over the next several years for overall health improvement.
